I have 2 VBOX virtual machines.
VM 1: window 2003 server
VM 2: window xp
I am using remote display option to access remote desktop of each other Virtual machines.
But when ever i open remote desktop from inside a virtual machine to access another, my clipboard starts creating problem.
I am not able copy and paste in source VM.
is it a sort of Bug in virtual Box?
any solution...

Re: Clipboard weirdness with Remote Display
I changed the topic title, because it was the same as your previous topic and that can cause confusion (like thinking it's a cross-post).
What I think is going on, is that the clipboard is loosing track of what needs to go where. Usually when you use remote desktop, even in a VM, it should be no problem, but with a VM that's already running, remotely controlled through VRDP and sharing clipboard, things can get quite confusing. Add to the fact that shared clipboard seem to be a bit of a problem on Windows Hosts isn't helping much either.
All I can say is avoid this kind of situation as much as possible.
